While I love a savory breakfast, I can definitely appreciate a sweet start to the day! If you’ve been following me long enough, I’m not the biggest fruit eater. But waking up to this treat sure makes me want to load up on the fruits!
I must also confess that prior to arriving in Canada, I actually didn’t have much of a sweet tooth at all. Savory breakfasts were my only choice, and for sweets my go-to choice was chocolate-flavored cakes, cookies, brownies… So you can imagine oatmeal was never on my menu until a few years back!
On a similar note, my first time having cream cheese was in Canada. It was when I had just arrived in 2013. I went to a local grocery store, a Metro, and they were offering samples of crackers and cream cheese. I pretty much can’t say no to free food, so I gave it a try. Um, yum! My first thought was “Wow, what is this amazing goodness and why have I never had it before?” I became hooked, and cream cheese then became an integral part of my life! It sure pairs well with oats! If you’ve never tried it, what are you waiting for?
I have to say this is an ultimate go-to overnight oats recipe! Incorporating cream cheese in my overnight oats has really been a game changer for me. I love how it combines with milk to make oats even thicker! With the addition of the fruits, this really does taste like a cheesecake in oatmeal! I don't know how breakfast could get better than that to satisfy that sweet tooth and be a time saver!
This blueberry cheesecake overnight oatmeal recipe has some pretty simple ingredients that will make your oats extremely creamy and sweet! If you’re craving a blueberry cheesecake, there’s no reason why you can’t enjoy it for a healthy breakfast! This simple recipe is a great overnight oats option if you want creaminess with some delicious sweetness of blueberries that I'm sure you'll enjoy!
We’ve got the whole grains from the oatmeal, which can help control your hunger until lunchtime due to the fiber. We’ve also got the sweetness and nutrition from blueberries, such as polyphenols and vitamins. Bananas have lots of potassium and have additional fiber. Finally, the milk, Greek yogurt and cream cheese are not only packed with calcium to promote bone health, but they’ll all work together to thicken up the oats to create an excellent cheesecake experience in the morning. We can’t neglect chia seeds, which also have plenty of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, but really thicken the oats up overnight. A must-have for overnight oats!
This blueberry cheesecake overnight oatmeal doesn’t call for too many ingredients! The basics here will be combined to make a truly delicious cheesecake experience for breakfast! Here’s what you’ll need:
Overnight oats are so popular because they’re so easy to make! All you need to do is grab a bowl and add in your base ingredients, which are the oats, milk, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract.
Now add your cream cheese.
Mix all the ingredients together.
Then, transfer your oat mixture to either a mason jar or a bowl. It almost seems mandatory to eat your overnight oats in a mason jar so I’ll go do that here! But I’ve put my overnight oats in a bowl in the past and I really enjoy that. Just depends on your mood and what you have on hand!
So transfer this mixture to where you’ll be eating the oats.
Seal the jar or if transferring to a bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate overnight, or at least for 4-6 hours. In the morning, take out your oats and top with the blueberries, sliced bananas and a drizzle of honey. Be sure to thaw your blueberries in water if you’re using frozen blueberries!
Even though you may not want to wake up early for school or work, if you’ve got this deliciousness waiting for you in the fridge, I guarantee you’ll actually be jumping out of bed! So no more excuses that you don't have time for a nutritious breakfast in the morning! If you're craving something sweet, forget the coffee shop donuts and have this waiting for you in the fridge tomorrow morning.
Get in the kitchen and follow along with this recipe for some creamy cheesecake oats! Be sure to top it off with extra honey in the morning to bring everything together and enjoy!
A spoonful of cream cheese — about 1½ tablespoons — stirred into the oats gives that signature tangy, creamy cheesecake flavor. The blueberries and a little honey round it out so it really does eat like dessert for breakfast.
This one uses quick oats (about ⅔ cup to ⅔ cup milk). They soften faster and give a smoother, creamier overnight texture, which suits the cheesecake feel of this recipe.
Refrigerate it overnight — or at least a few hours — until the oats and chia have softened into a thick, creamy mixture. Add the blueberries, banana slices and honey on top just before you eat.
Yes — fresh or frozen both work. Frozen berries will soften and release a little juice as they thaw, which swirls beautifully through the oats.
